Abstract: A switching circuit includes; a switching element; a driver; a diode connected between a source terminal and a gate terminal of the switching element; a resistor connected between the driver and the gate terminal of the switching element; a series circuit connected in parallel with the resistor, and including a capacitor and a resistor; and a diode including an anode on a side of the gate terminal of the switching element and a cathode on a side of a second output terminal of the driver. The diode is connected in parallel with at least the capacitor out of the capacitor and the resistor connected in series.

Abstract: A switching circuit includes: a normally-off junction field-effect GaN transistor including source, drain, and gate terminals; a drive device of one output type electrically connected to the gate terminal; a first rectifier, between the source terminal and the gate terminal, including an anode on a source terminal side and a cathode on a gate terminal side; a capacitor between a cathode side of the first rectifier and the drive device; a first resistor between the capacitor and the drive device; a second resistor, one side of the second resistor being connected to the drive device, another side of the second resistor being connected between the cathode side of the first rectifier and the capacitor; and a second rectifier including an anode on a capacitor side and a cathode on a drive device side. No resistor is provided between the cathode side of the second rectifier and the drive device.
